Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen {Texas City}

Alright y'all. I gotta be honest. I've lived here since '08 and I have never once been here until the other day. I've always been biased to my TexMex places up in League City and Webster. I know y'all know which ones I'm referring to. Anyway. This place is not far from where I live and I finally decided to bite the bullet and try it. I don't like trying new places and being let down and then paying for food that was mediocre. But.... That was NOT the case here. I honestly did myself dirty by not trying it sooner. My expectations were low but they EXCEEDED my expectations. First off. The design? Love it. I'm an interior designer and I LOVE it. It's giving modern hacienda vibe. It was so vibrant, balanced and rich. Now the food? Yes. Just yes. Lol To elaborate. I'm half Hispanic. (Puerto Ric

Had a great lunch here! Server was awesome! She was friendly and had a great sense of humor. Food was so flavorful and fresh, overpriced but what Tex-mex isn’t? They did have a few affordable items on the menu. Music was a little loud but we know how to talk louder. Overall, our visit was great!

Gringo's is is an excellent Tex Mex restaurant. I especially loved that you get free soft serve here because your "green goes further at Gringo's"! I tried enchiladas with ranchero sauce and they were good, however the cheese/queso tasted a bit processed. The refried beans and black beans were great. The salsa with the chips as an appetizer was excellent!

Why does my cheese have tomatos and a piece of lettuce in it? I cannot stand tomatos. The other container of cheese was fine. Do better with the lack of detail in kitchen. To me, its disgusting 🫣

Upon walking in we were not greeted, this set the tone immediately. The hostess sat a family about 2 minutes in the door, 2 of the kids held the door for us. We stood there waiting for the hostess to return, that never happened. I watched quite a few employees chit chatting, walking by us & avoiding eye contact as we stood at the door but no one came our way. I took a seat, the same thing happened, employees walking to the hostess station, putting papers down with their back turned to us, at that point I asked my daughter how much time should I give them, she knew exactly what I meant because I NEVER leave before being seated. After she and I talked we agreed I should give them 10 minutes total before I exit the building and post my review. I had already put 1 star by time someone acknowle
